As the four-day Easter break approaches (from Friday 14 until Monday 17 April), Swindon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GWH) are asking people to Choose Well and help their local NHS by using the most appropriate local healthcare service over the Bank Holiday.

Public Health England has launched its annual Act FAST campaign in the South West to remind people of the key symptoms of stroke and the importance of calling 999 immediately if they notice any single one of the symptoms themselves or in others.

The local NHS is asking people in Swindon to seek help early if they feel unwell and not wait until their condition gets worse.

A handy information leaflet with details of local healthcare services which can be accessed without an appointment has been produced, to encourage people to seek help sooner. It can be downloaded here.

NHS Swindon CCG is proposing changes to its current IVF policy and is keen to explain to the public why we are doing this. We are committed to seeking the views of local people, to understand any potential impact the proposed changes may have.
